Profile

Dr. Abu Saleh Mohammad Mosa is the Director of Research Informatics at the University of Missouri (MU) School of Medicine. Dr. Mosa, also, has an affiliate faculty appointment in the MU Informatics Institute and an adjunct appointment in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at MU. He is the lead informatician for building the research informatics infrastructure at the MU SOM. Dr. Mosa’s research involves developing the capabilities to implement REDCap, i2b2 (600,000 patients record from the EMR), HealthFacts (a de-identified data set with over 60 million patient records pulled from Cerner clients), SAS 9.4 data analytic server, and secured high performance computing capabilities. He has published more than 16 refereed publications (13 journal articles and 3 full-length conference proceedings) in health/medical informatics. Dr. Mosa is the site-PI for MU’s participation in the Greater Plains Collaborative, which is a Clinical Data Research Network (CDRN) funded by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). He is also currently leading three projects funded by Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and Roche Molecular Systems. He is a co-investigator on NIH, AHRQ and PCORI funded studies for enterprise-wide large scale electronic data capture and healthcare data management studies.
